We all (Karen mom and I) woke up at 4am and went back to sleep. I woke around 9 something and took a while getting dressed, before we all trekked off to this amazing french pastry shop for breakfast. Sooo good. There was this raspberry filled thing? Anyway, afterwards we went looking for an Ozz store, which we found! Karen bought Laura this beautiful black shirt and skirt and wine boots, bought herself an amazing green ensemble, this cool green gathered skirt, print green shirt and black vest. as well as a pretty black rose and feather hair ornament.

She bought me this amazing gothic red slip, dress, jabot, corset and boots set up that I am dying over. She is the most generous sweet person in the world. The boots are amazing but walking in them for half a day was killer.

After that we had to rush to get to our Kabuki performance. We were late but caught most of it. It was five hours of theatre and pretty amazing. Beautiful. The first scene we saw was this whole deal with some samurai on a beach having feelings and one had to kill his son. Next was a weird kind of... The guy had to tell this lady that he killed HER son then present his son's head to a lord and also a stone mason killed a ninja.

The final thing was a dance where a girl dances and then is ensnared by a lion spirit who takes her over and is teased by butterflies, really cool.

We headed back, had sushi for dinner, it was amazing melt in your mouth stuff, and retired to the room. I switched shoes, we took a break, and mom stayed to rest while Laura, Karen, Collin and I went on to search for an arcade. We didn't find a satisfactory one but we DID find a great parfait place and wandered around Shibuya a lot. Then we did karaoke (my first time ever! Karen and Laura are great singers!) and headed back. Where I am writing this. Going to shower and sleep. Tomorrow, Ikebukuro then Osaka!

It's hot as hell in Japan right now.
